I HAVE A JOB!!!
Yes, it's true, by some miracle I was able to obtain a teaching job in this dreadful Arizona economy. I am the newest 5th grade (yes 5th grade - scary!) teacher at Saddleback Elementary School in Maricopa. It's a commute of about 30 minutes, but the commute doesn't involve driving towards Phoenix, so I'll take it. :)
I start tomorrow morning - 8 o'clock on the dot. It's possibly the most terrifying thing I have done in my life, but we'll see. I'll let you know after tomorrow. The scariest part is that I have a week, yes 1 week, before school starts. It starts a week from tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes you can all start praying for me now. :) I think I'll be ok, it sounds like there are a lot of helpful teachers around that will help me along the way. I can do it!
Anyway, wanted to share that exciting bit of news quick. I'm hoping to do a good job of documenting this adventure, but I'm expecting it to be largely time consuming. I'll try.
